摘要: An integrated electro-optic frequency comb generator based on ultralow loss integrated, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, platform, which enables low power consumption comb generation spanning over a wider range of optical frequencies. The comb generator includes an intensity modulator, and at least one phase modulator, which provides a powerful technique to generate a broad high power comb, without using an optical resonator. A compact integrated electro-optic modulator based frequency comb generator, provides the benefits of integrated, e.g. lithium niobate, platform including low waveguide loss, high electro-optic modulation efficiency, small bending radius and flexible microwave design.

摘要: An optical modulator that uses adiabatic tapers to change the width of the waveguides between multimode waveguides and single mode waveguides on a low-loss, e.g. thin-film lithium niobate, electro-optic platform. The architecture enables the utilization of the fundamental mode of multimode wide optical waveguides that have lower optical propagation loss without sacrificing the benefit of the signal integrity and ease of control of single mode operation.

摘要: An electro-optic device is described. The electro-optic device includes at least one optical material having an electro-optic effect. Further, the optical material(s) include lithium. The optical material(s) have a slab and a ridge waveguide. The slab has a top surface. The slab includes free surfaces. Each of the free surfaces is at a nonzero angle from the top surface of the slab and mitigates stress in the slab.

摘要: An optical device is described. The optical device includes a waveguide, a first engineered electrode, and a second engineered electrode. The waveguide includes at optical material(s) having an electro-optic effect. The optical material(s) include lithium. A portion of the waveguide has a waveguide width. The first engineered electrode includes a first channel region and first extensions protruding from the first channel region. The first extensions are closer to the portion of the waveguide than the first channel region is. The second engineered electrode includes a second channel region and second extensions protruding from the second channel region. The second extensions are closer to the portion of the waveguide than the second channel region is. A first extension of the first extensions is a distance from a second extension of the second \extensions. The distance is less than the waveguide width.

摘要: An interface for an optical modulator and the optical modulator are described. The interface includes first and second differential line pairs. The first differential line pair has a first negative line and a first positive line arranged on opposing sides of a first waveguide. The first negative line is on a distal side of the first waveguide relative to a second waveguide. The first positive line is on a proximal side of the first waveguide relative to the second waveguide. The second differential line pair has a second negative line and a second positive line arranged on opposing sides of the second waveguide. The second negative line is on a distal side of the second waveguide relative to the first waveguide. The second positive line is on a proximal side of the second waveguide relative to the first waveguide. The first and second waveguides each include lithium niobate and/or lithium tantalate.
